Yoga4Pal Global Action class

June 21, 9.30-10.30am, Hanover Community Centre.
Book here to come to class

In place of celebrating the state-sponsored International Day of Yoga, we are reclaiming the practice to serve justice and liberation, specifically in solidarity with Palestinians facing ongoing occupation, genocide and displacement.

The usual Saturday morning class in the Hanover Centre will be open to anyone wanting to practise in community, recognising yoga as a practise for collective liberation and healing.

All proceeds from the class will be donated to support the fundraising for Al Jawad School in Gaza which offers displaced children in Gaza education, commmunity and care.

Suggested donation £12, but you are welcome to donate more (even if you can’t make the class!)

Class times over Easter break

Most classes are as usual over Easter apart Monday 14 April and Bank Holiday Monday. I am also away teaching in Crete (there’s one double room left if you’d like to come!) 22-29 April, so no classes during this time.

Boulder Brighton classes are not on during school holidays or while I’m away, so back May 6

Gifts of presence

Voucher for therapeutic Thai massage - the perfect gift

As a small ‘business’, I’m not offering Black Friday deals as it’s symptomatic of overconsumption, excess, waste and reactivity. The very nature of it can breed a heightened state of stress and anxiety, which is the antithesis of my offerings, which are designed to bring calm, spaciousness and a deeper sense of connection to breath, body and community.

But you can gift these offerings, to yourself or others:

Gift order form

Pay it forward
If you would like to gift someone in the community to receive an hour’s massage or attend a yoga class, you can contribute here Even a little makes a difference. Whenever the contributions add up to the cost of a class or massage, I will randomly select someone from the list. This is specifically for folk who are struggling financially, and cannot otherwise access holistic healthcare.

You can also nominate someone to go on the nomminations list.
